Vijay Rupani swearing-in LIVE

Vijay Rupani, the Bharatiya Janata Party who was the chief minister of Gujarat for the last few years, will return to the CM's chair in Gandhinagar today at a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, himself a four-term Gujarat CM.

The BJP, after its 99-seat victory in the recent Gujarat Assembly election, announced earlier this week that Rupani as well as his deputy Nitin Patel would both continue in their respective posts. Rupani will be sworn in again as the Gujarat CM by Governor OP Kohli at an oath-taking ceremony at the Gandhinagar Sachivalaya Ground in Gujarat's capital.

Rupani's previous cabinet resigned on December 21 a day after the Gujarat Assembly election results, in which the BJP's nearest rival Congress managed 77 seats. The election in Gujarat this time, the first since PM Modi left Gandhinagar for New Delhi, was a particularly combative one with the Rahul Gandhi-led Congress almost giving the BJP a run for its money.
